mowerman Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 You know mentally I don’t feel any different than what I was 20 but my body is getting a little beat up and mainly hard to bemd down and get up again mainly that’s the only issue I have now but I am sure it will get worse… Oh by the way I think I have the baby quad in my DM it’s a 15 speed with a low hole on the auxiliary that can’t be used when up shifting the pattern 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/11/#findComment-493704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can see/feel a downhill side of things to my body. Things just hurt more now, take longer to heal, bruise/cut easier, and just cant move as fast/jump off things like I used to. Let’s just say I don’t feel 20 anymore and it’s not gonna get any better. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/11/#findComment-493708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 The shift pattern says quadrupflex but as I said low low does not cooperate but who knows the transmission may have been switched years ago I am getting rid of this one I actually have A rebuilt real quad box I got for 350 years ago I don’t know if you read that a while back and another thread I have not put it in yet all in good time but yes chip pattern definitely says five and four Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/11/#findComment-493715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
